Recruit An Expert Crew

Choosing the rightreal property advisors to guide you through the real property transactionis more important than picking the wall color.

Buying real property is serious business! As a home buyer, you stand to lose large amounts of ⏰ time and 💵 money if your representation is not adequate.

We've helped hundreds of people in Chicago, & the North Shore—We stand to win.

Pre-Approval

We are partnered with the top mortgage lenders in our area who can assess your financial situation and write a letter of pre-approval.

A letter of pre-approval proves that you are a serious buyer—this letter indicates that you are NOT likely to abandon ship in case of a financial storm.

Your expectations and the marketplace must converge—if not, this will become apparent, and we will course correct in search of better parameters.

⚓ Drop The Anchor ⚓

So, You Think You've Found The One!?

Getting Ready

Typical buyers preview about 10-50 properties before making an offer.

If you find one you absolutely love, someone else probably loves it too. 💔

Don't worry—we're in a good position to fight for you, and we've got big cannons!

Taking Aim

To laser-focus on a target property, we use a Comparable Market Analysis:

Comparable Market Analysis (CMA) compares similar homes in the same school district within a half-mile radius. "Comparables" are homes that are currently on the market, or that have closed in the last six months.

CMAs help inform you about how certain properties stack up against each other.

Fire! 💥

You pull the trigger on how much to offer,and we fire off a contract for you.

This contract will include the pre-approval letter mentioned before.

The goal of the contract is to get you a great deal while also ensuring you win.

Counterattacks

Your transaction may involve both negotiation and counter offers before all parties are satisfied. Your crew helps you through rough patches and negotiates on your behalf.

🚧 Home Inspection 🚧

Inspection of the property by a licensed home inspector protects you against structural and material defects that are not detectable in a casual walk-through.

We work with inspectors to inspect everything including the electrical panel, outlets, furnace/boiler and AC compressor. The windows, doors, and floors are also inspected, while the kitchen and bathroom fixtures are checked for functionality.

📝 Attorney Review 📝

Attorney review is a one-week period, in which your attorney can review the contract and suggest alterations. Alterations will usually focus on the language of the contract in an attempt to protect you from any undue obligations.

We help you and your attorney to navigate any home inspection issues.

🎊 Closing 🎊

Once your anchor is set, you will find yourself at the closing table! ⚓

To ensure that your anchor doesn't come loose, we will continue to work diligently with you, your lender, your attorney, and the seller's agent to close the transaction.
